The Andrews Sisters are the most famous Sister Group in the history of recorded music. Patty was the lead, Maxene was the high harmony and LaVern was the low harmony. Because they didn’t read music they didn’t do standard harmony. Their harmony is so tight that it baffles trained musicians who try to figure it out!😂 Their music still sells today and is constantly being REdiscovered, just like you found out! Thank you so much!

Andrew Sisters performed in Las Vegas quite often in the 50’s and were an A list group. Rumor is that Sam Giancana a reputed mafioso was in love with Phyllis Andrew and would go see her sing wherever she was. They had a very long relationship which she claimed was platonic. Their harmony was the best.

I listened to an interview with LaVern and she was asked about where they got those harmonies and why she never sang a lead. She said it just came so natural to her when ever she heard a melody it was a harmony that played in her head. She didn't know any music theory as did neither of the other sisters nor could she explain it to someone else. And no one did like they could do it.

The Andrews Sisters were an American close harmony singing group of the swing and boogie-woogie eras. The group consisted of three sisters: contralto LaVerne Sophia (July 6, 1911 - May 8, 1967), soprano Maxene Anglyn (January 3, 1916 - October 21, 1995), and mezzo-soprano Patricia "Patty" Marie (February 16, 1918 - January 30, 2013).[1] The sisters have sold an estimated 80 million records.[2] Their 1941 hit "Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy" can be considered an early example of jump blues. Other songs closely associated with the Andrews Sisters include their first major hit, "Bei Mir Bist Du Schön (Means That You're Grand)" (1937), "Beer Barrel Polka (Roll Out the Barrel)" (1939), "Beat Me Daddy, Eight to the Bar" (1940), "Don't Sit Under the Apple Tree (With Anyone Else but Me)" (1942), and "Rum and Coca Cola" (1945), which helped introduce American audiences to calypso.

A bugle is a type of horn kind of like a trumpet. The difference is a bugle has no keys/valves to press down with fingers and the various sounds are made from positioning of mouth/lips. Hope that helps to clear up any confusion

Just adding - The Bugle is traditionally used to play "Taps" when lower the flag or at military funerals.

[@Grynslvr2]

Adding: In a time long ago when the military needed to pass common commands over distance (long before radio) the bugle was used as an auditory signal. The bugle call Reveille woke the troops. There were bugle calls for meals, and even one for telling soldiers when to go to sleep. There were also bugle calls for moving formations of troops on the battlefield. The three most famous calls today are Reveille, Taps, and Charge.

In Navy Boot Camp in the 1980's, I was in San Diego and was part of the Drum and Bugle Corps. Correct that a traditional bugle has no valves and can play only so many notes. Besides the ones mentioned, there were bugle calls for Attention, Parade Rest, Morning Colors, Retreat (evening colors), those I remember specifically, there are many more the Army uses. The bugles used in a Drum and Bugle Corps, all have 2 valves (can't play a few notes), are designed similarly, and are Soprano (Trumpet) Baritone (Trombone range but looks like an oversize trumpet) and Bass (Tuba range and looks like an even larger trumpet and rests on the player's shoulder). Boot camp for us was like being in a highly disciplined marching band. Sadly now Navy Boot Camp in Great Lakes doesn't have it anymore. The trumpet sounding before a horse race such as the Kentucky Derby is played on a modified bugle, more straightened out. That bugle call is named, "First Call" which in the Navy is played 5 minutes before morning or evening colors. On a personal note, I played TAPS for 25 military burials and ceremonies, all branches, while I was on a shore station.

Réveiller is a French word, literally meaning "to wake up". So the army just adopted the word to mean the sound that wakes you up in the morning.

[@maxwellshammer5283]

This performance was from a movie, “Buck Private” made in 1941 starring the comedy team of Abbott and Costello. When I was a trumpet player in the Army, we sometimes played “reveille” in the mornings and “taps” in the evening when lowering the flag. In earlier times the bugle was also used to play “charge” when charging the enemy. Taps is also played at funerals for service members. A bugle is like a trumpet only there are no keys. It’s limited in the notes it can play because of this.

[@pauliek5325]

One of my old time favorites Buck Privates.

[@genataylor460]

They also use it around 5pm to play retreat. Basically the end of the work day. Everyone on the base will stop what they are doing, and stand at attention and salute, even the military brats, as they are called, know to respect it. They lower the flag with retreat. Taps is played at bedtime. When I was stationed at Ft Ben Harrison, at the Defense Information School, in 1968, I would lean out the window and play Taps on my kazoo, along with the bugle, which was usually just a recording. While I was a student there, we had a 10pm curfew, and that would be when they would broadcast Taps. Nothing like being 20 years old and having to go to bed at 10pm.

[@marchka5930]

This was from a movie. Not entertaining troops.

[@davidgross990]

@@genataylor460 The reason we all stop what we are doing is because evening taps is when the flag is lowered at sundown. If your in uniform you have to stop face the direction the flag is on what base or ship you are on and give a hand salute, like we do during the national anthem.

Bugles used in the drum and bugle corps do have a valve on it. The comment on the chip I think I get and agree. You take a fake bugle with a microchip it programmed to play “Taps” give it to some thing that can hold it and knows where their mouth is and can hit the play button and they can make $10 or $20 at a military funeral. What a disgrace, I know I can find some high school or college kid willing to play at a funeral. Scouts with our working on the bugling merit badge would play. I used to teach music and of my extra volunteer jobs was to teach scouts how to play the bugle and judge them for their merit badge. Jay and Amber the song you was asking about is “Reveille”(pronounced rev-el-lee). There are several bugle calls for many different things…”Reveille” to wake up troops and “Taps” for time for sleep. There is a call for attention, assembly, to the dining hall, to the quarters, charge (attack) and retreat just to name a few.

The Andrews Sisters were really big during the 1940's during and after World War II. They did a lot of songs in a great 3-part harmony. Yes, these ladies did a lot of USO shows for the troops, so songs and performances were eaten up by the guys. A bugle, by the way, is a horn, a little bit higher pitched and smaller than a trumpet. It does not have any valves, like a trumpet, so all notes are strictly determined by the air blown into it. Armies have used trumpets for hundreds of years for their troops. They mentioned Reville in the song, that is the tune to wake the troops up in the morning. Taps is usually played in the evening to put the troops to bed and also is traditionally played at military funerals. It also was used for commands in the field, such as a command to attack or retreat. They use the bugle because it is smaller than most horns and can be heard over the noise of the battlefield.

A bugle is basically a trumpet without the valves. The pitch and tone are totally controlled by the players lips. In the military, reveille (pronounced rev-ah-lee), is the tune played to start the day and wake folks up. At night another tune called taps is played.

Their Christmas tracks done with Bing will always be THE primary sound of the holidays for me (+ a little bit of: Dean Martin, Nat King Cole, Elvis, Brenda Lee, and the Chipmunks).

I believe they started off as a cover band of the Boswell Sisters, so if you want to go back in time a tiny bit further you can check out the songs: "Rock & Roll" and "Alexander's Ragtime Band" (that's right the song is called Rock & Roll and its from 1934- I guess these ladies started something really big ;) ) Also on an unrelated note, I see that you've never reacted to the 1959 song: "Over the Mountain; Across the Sea" by Johnnie & Joe. If you've never heard it YOU MUST it is beautiful. One of my tops for sure. Also The Platters are another absolutely phenomenal group that I grew up listening to.

This is from the 1940's. Grew up listening to the sisters. Mom and dad loved them! A bugle is a small trumpet. It is used at morning reveille, retreat at the end of the day along with the National Anthem, and taps at 9 pm. The "bugle boy" does all this.

[@sandman8944]

As a veteran this reaction tickles my heart, to clear up some confusion though there is an instrument called a bugle, it's basically another form of the trumpet but it takes more skill to play because you can only use your mouth, there are no keys to press on the horn to help hit notes like there are with a trumpet. As for the songs the bugler or "bugle boy" would play in the military, he would start the day of with a fast paced little number called "Revelry" which would also be used in the past to rally the troops for the charge. Then later in the evening as the sun would set they would play a slow and somber tune called "Taps" this song carries a greater weight to it though since it is used to honor and memorialize the fallen. Little military fun fact for you, oh and if you like the "Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy" then you'll probably enjoy checking out "Candyman" which is Christina Aguilera's newer take on the Andrews Sisters song.

[@highnrising]

"Lt takes more skill to play." Yeah, if only Louis Armstrong and Miles Davis had more skill, they might have been buglers instead of trumpet players.

[@jodyweems2762]

The morning song is spelled as Reveille, which literally means "wake up" in French. It is pronounced like "revilee." They played it in the past to wake up the troops, their version of an alarm clock. They still play it on military bases, at 7:00, I believe. Now it is used as the official start of the day, and they raise the flag at that time. Here is an official rendering from today's military: Reveille-7 a.m. Reveille signifies the beginning of the official duty day, and the raising of the flag. When Reveille sounds, military personnel in uniform are to face the flag or the music if the flag is not visible, and stand at parade rest. At the first note of "To the Colors", they should come to attention and salute. Civilian personnel on the installation should face the flag or music and place their hand over their hearts for "To the Colors". All vehicles should come to a stop and remain so until the last note is played.
